War Crimes in Gaza - Al Jazeera Investigations
Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit exposes Israeli war crimes in the Gaza Strip through the medium of photos and videos posted online by Israeli soldiers themselves during the year long conflict.
The I-Unit has built up a database of thousands of videos, photos and social media posts. Where possible it has identified the posters and those who appear.
The material reveals a range of illegal activities, from wanton destruction and looting to the demolition of entire neighbourhoods and murder.
The film also tells the story of the war through the eyes of Palestinian journalists, human rights workers and ordinary residents of the Gaza Strip. And it exposes the complicity of Western governments – in particular the use of RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus as a base for British surveillance flights over Gaza.

Gaza Fights For Freedom
This debut feature film by journalist Abby Martin began while reporting in Palestine, where she was denied entry into Gaza by the Israeli government on the accusation she was a “propagandist.” So Abby connected with a team of journalists in Gaza to produce the film through the blockaded border. It is a documentary about the historic Great March Of Return protests, which occurred every week from March 2018 until December 2019, but covers so much more. It tells the story of Gaza past and present, showing rare archival footage that explains the history never acknowledged by mass media. You hear from victims of the ongoing massacre, including journalists, medics and the family of internationally-acclaimed paramedic, Razan al-Najjar. At its core, ‘Gaza Fights For Freedom’ is a thorough indictment of the Israeli military for war crimes with exclusive documentary evidence and a stunning cinematic portrayal of Palestinians' heroic resistance (Sourced from YouTube).

We're All going to Die — AI
The Israeli publications +972 and Local Call have exposed how the Israeli military used an artificial intelligence program known as Lavender to develop a "kill list" in Gaza that includes as many as 37,000 Palestinians who were targeted for assassination with little human oversight. A second AI system known as "Where's Daddy?" tracked Palestinians on the kill list and was purposely designed to help Israel target individuals when they were at home at night with their families. The targeting systems, combined with an "extremely permissive" bombing policy in the Israeli military, led to "entire Palestinian families being wiped out inside their houses," says Yuval Abraham, an Israeli journalist who broke the story after speaking with members of the Israeli military who were "shocked by committing atrocities." Abraham previously exposed Israel for using an AI system called "The Gospel" to intentionally destroy civilian infrastructure in Gaza, including apartment complexes, universities and banks, in an effort to exert "civil pressure" on Hamas. These artificial intelligence military systems are "a danger to humanity," says Abraham. "AI-based warfare allows people to escape accountability." (Sourced from Youtube).

In Brazil, the discrete Palestinian community seeks to survive, grow and gain social recognition for its economic and social contribution (Sourced from IMDb).
Occupation of the American Mind

In Bad Faith
When a Palestinian is brought onto Western media to talk about what’s happening in Palestine, it’s seldom in good faith. This video satirizes the hostile and bad-faith questions that Palestinians confront during mainstream media interviews.
Corporate journalists often ignore the material realities on the ground—occupation, colonialism, siege, and genocide. Instead, they focus on hypothetical scenarios, feigning moral outrage, or littering the conversation with logical fallacies and slanderous charges.
One option is to engage those questions in good faith, pleading your case before these self-appointed judges, hoping for a fair hearing. Another option is to refuse to distract from the focal point and reject the premise that you are a defendant in the first place, refusing to continue living under constant cross-examination.
Irreverence in the face of dehumanization can flip the script and transform the way audiences engage with Palestine. Exposing the pernicious subtext of bad faith questions—or even merely ridiculing them—can disarm them. Such an approach demystifies the so-called “conflict,” shattering taboos surrounding it and empowering others to raise their voices (Sourced from Youtube).
